Formula 1 Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix 2024Formula 1

Don't you just love recursive countries in race names like recursive countries in race names? The penultimate race weekend of the year is also our final Sprint race weekend. The event last season was punctuated by tyre issues on the kerbs forcing mandated pitstops (USA 2005 eat your heart out) and incredibly hot and humid weather that pushed the drivers to the limits of what was humanly possible for even top athletes. The race has been moved a few weeks later in the year to try and combat this, so we will see if it's made a difference. The Driver's title may be wrapped up, but McLaren have the chance to win their first Constructors Championship title since 1998 this weekend if the results go their way, otherwise the ultra-competitive season between the top 4 teams will rumble on to a decider in Abu Dhabi. Who will survive the heat and high-speed corners at the QATAR GRAND PRIX!

I hope McLaren can hold on to their lead in the constructors, though it's not looking promising. Maybe the only hope is the Ferraris being too busy fighting each other.

Dallas 1984, eat your heart out.

Yes, I know, different era, different time of year, different part of the world, different climate, different everything else, etc.

Not rooting for anyone in particular now that the Driver's title has been settled.
